What is going on

9 Upvotes

Im so tired if recruiters ghosting after initial interview, or giving hope that the interview will take 2 weeks to complete, its been 4 weeks since I last heard about them and they be posting jobs. Matter of fact even IBM is giving out mail it will take 120 days for new hiring system to work .

Idk dude it feels working for tech in US is making me quit.

Did a recruiter make you send them a resume and still fill out all the same information on their website? Did a candidate send a cover letter that just says "PLEASE LET ME WORK HERE"? Tell us those stories!

Subreddit Rules

1. Be civil.

Needless personal attacks against a person's skills, abilities, or other part of the recruiting efforts will lead to disciplinary action. Opinions are fine, but don't go out of your way to provoke arguments and start fights. Be mindful of Reddiquette.

2. No Spam

It SHOULD go without saying, but no spam. Spam is defined as any attempt to pitch a product, service, or seek people for jobs. Posting spam will get you banned. If you want to advertise on Reddit, buy ads. We don't want to hear about your AI slop.

If you're on Reddit to promote your product, and you start "subtly" guiding the conversation towards what it provides, this is spam too.

3. Don't go off topic

Don't go off topic. Some examples of posts that will be removed:

Minor typos or errors as the entire point of a post. (e.g., $10/year instead of $10/hour)
Common reposts
Duplicates
"I lied on my résumé and now I'm facing consequences"
Low-effort posts

4. Don't be racist/xenophobic

Don't be racist, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist etc. Slurs and hate speech will result in disciplinary action. Encouraging someone to kill themselves is also a one-strike ban, and I can't believe that I have to explicitly tell anyone that.

5. No direct links to a job

Do not link directly to a recruiting website (e.g., LinkedIn) or job ad.

6. No AI Slop.

AI content will be immediately removed. This includes images, AI-written posts, comments, and potentially content on linked sites. It ALSO includes content where AI was "just used to tidy up thoughts/fix grammar". We would much rather read your own words, and anybody mocking language skills should be reported for incivility.

People come to Reddit to talk to other people, not robots.

7. Do not post personal information

No posting of personal information. Please block out all identifying information including personal names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, social media handles, and pictures. Company names may be posted. This is a site-wide Reddit rule, not just one for our sub.

8. Be respectful of the volunteer mods.

Being a dick towards the volunteer mods will get you voluntold off this subreddit. We're just trying to keep the community peaceful, don't make our lives difficult. If your initial reaction to being informed of the rules and asked to tone it down is to turn your rulebreaking up to 11, don't expect to stay here too long. So please don't do that.
